Skating, Play, Skiing, Art, Georgia +More

Haley got her braces off!  She received a fun box of goodies too.            

We made some scones one night. We don't make them very often and Shanna and Elden were very happy to help!

Annual skating party at Funky's! 

Katelyn, Cal and Shanna's friend came. 

I try to give blood a few times a year.  

The high school's winter play was Beauty and the Beast.  There was a design competition for the cover and Haley's work was chosen!

During the play, an art display is up in the common area. Loved seeing the kids' art work.  Cal's fridge.  He said the little kid drawing was really hard to do!

Haley's trash picture.

Shanna's flower.

My friend Katherine's mom painted the DC temple.  So beautiful!  She made prints of it which was what we had. 

Snacks...gotta eat.

Indoor track started!

I thought it was so weird that a dog was at a high school. Very interesting. 

Lee fixed the couch....again...

Time to celebrate Joseph's birthday!

It was a Sunday so Elder Robertson joined us for a little bit. 

A bit of skiing at Massanutten. 

Shanna and Cal tried out snowboards.

I finally pulled out the mini chocolates I bought for the kids in Europe. I stored them in the freezer. I think they were still okay...

I thought this was hilarious.  Saw this on our way down to Georgia for sister's weekend!

Beautiful sunset.

My mom and I drove to Georgia for a sister's weekend.  My dad stayed with Lee which worked out really well. We met up at the restaurant with everyone for dinner.  We ate at the Southern River Walk.  The grape leaf things were very interesting, but the fries were yummy!

Our itineraries! 

That night we painted eggs and visited. 

Lois got each of us some Buc-ees OverBites.  So yummy!

Here were the other goodies!  Peach socks from Georgia!

Loved visiting Jekyll Island. I want to take my family here!

Yummy lunch with ricotta and blueberries on a croissant! 

Searching for shells at Jekyll Island. We also explored some Tabby ruins and drove around looking at the cute houses. 

Later we went on a boat tour of the Okefenokee Swamp which was awesome. 

Then we had a movie night and watched a Jane Austen movie. Yummy snacks!

Back at the ranch...or the small house. Friend time!

Jeff did some sort of presentation and had a HUGE fake tube of toothpaste. 

Next day an amazing kayaking trip at the Ichetucknee State Park.  So pretty!

I never saw so many turtles in one trip in my life. 

My parents used to live in Florida and had a little excursion here with the older kids. The Devil's Millhopper is a type of sink hole. 

Cute Jack!

Shanna might have passed Haley up!  We'll have to measure them. 

The fun ring Lee gave me!

We also drove to Gainesville and saw the house my parents and the older kids lived in.  We stopped by the university to see the bats leave their bat houses at dusk.  That was pretty cool. We had an awesome time in Georgia! Probably my favorite sister's weekend thus far.  On the way home we stopped at Cracker Barrel and met my mission trainer--Gloriella Padilla. We had fun catching up and she bought us breakfast.  We were outside of Savannah, Georgia.  I haven't seen her since I visited her at her home in Mexico.  It was great! Things went great with my dad at my house.  We'll have do have him stay with us again. 

Shanna having fun with Amelia! Cal had mission prep classes and Shanna would hang out with Amelia during the classes. 

Sunday walk. Or push. Or ride. 

Sibling fun times. 

Classic Robertson picture. 

Everyone but me and Clark. 

More for fun.

The temple open house will be soon!!!
